How to backup Plex folder with USB Copy

Post by Dennis_H »

USB Copy is running tasks backing up my video and Music folders just fine, but want to also back up Plex folders, especially all the metadata I've added. I don't see the folder with USB Copy, but can see it in Volume #1/user/Plex. I've tried changing permissions, but no luck seeing it to backup. What to try next?

I was having the same problem. I ended up changing the plex backup directory (in the plex app, settings -> scheduled tasks) to a location which was more easily accessible (/mnt/md0/public/Plex/Database) so I could backup the plex database backups off-server. Hope that helps
